The Grand Henham Steam Rally is a charitable organisation (charity no. 1107330) and has several beneficiaries; Wangford Community Council and the Pariochial Church Councils of Sotherton, Uggeshall and Wangford-cum-Henham.
In addition, we select one or more additional good causes every year, In 2022, our chosen beneficiaries were:
- Livability Icanho
Livability Icanho specialises in supporting adults who have suffered a brain injury or stroke. Providing a quality service since 1998, they are committed to designing bespoke rehabilitation packages, mostly working with adults aged 18 or over. The main centre is Stowmarket, with a satellite base in Bungay. - Blossom Appeal
Colchester & Ipswich Hospitals Charity are building a multi-million pound modern Breast Care Centre at Ipswich where state-of-the-art care can be delivered to all patients. - Frostenden and South Cove Village Hall
The village hall serves two rural parishes and other than the churches, is the only meeting place for village events and parish council meetings. Managed by a small committee it is becoming increasingly difficult to raise funds to maintain the hall.
